CMA Mission Statement:
As Catholic Physicians of the United States and Canada, we come
together in the Catholic Medical Association in order to grow in
the spirit of Christ in our personal and professional lives, to
bring His Spirit to all that is touched by our science and art,
and to assist the Vicar of Christ, the Bishops, and the whole
Christian community with leadership, especially with the
particular knowledge, skill and experience we have as Christian
Physicians.
|
The Purpose of the Catholic
Medical Association is:
- To uphold the principles of the Catholic
faith and morality as related to the science and practice of
medicine.
- To cooperate in leading the Christian
community, especially with the particular medical expertise and
experience of the Catholic physician, to understand, develop,
and apply Christ's principles of faith and morality to modern
medical practice.
- To lead the Christian community in the
work of communicating Catholic medical ethics to the medical
profession and the community-at-large.
- To uphold Catholic hospitals in the
application of Catholic moral principles in medical practice.
- To enable Catholic physicians to know one
another better and to work together with deeper mutual support
and understanding.
